A Soldano-Designed 100-Watt Head at a Great Price!

The Jet City JCA100 HDM, designed by Soldano, gives you a boutique amplifier head with enormous power and tonal capability. This head uses a total of nine tubes throughout to give you a warmth and color that simply cannot be replicated on solid-state or digital amps.

Two Channels, Infinite Tones

A single input on the front panel of the JCA100 HDM gives you access to both Normal and Overdrive channels. These channels each have their own Gain knob. On the rest of the front panel you'll find controls for Bass, Middle, Treble EQ, plus the Master Volume for the Clean and Overdrive channels. There are also Presence and Depth knobs to help you contour your sound still further. On the rear panel you will find a footswitch jack and the inputs for the tube buffered FX Loop.

Select Your Wattage Output: 50 or 100

The JCA100 boasts a handy cut switch that you can use to bring the output down from 100 watts to 50 watts whenever you need to focus more on tone than roaring output -- like when you're in the studio!

All-Tube Awesomeness

This selectable 50-100 watt amp is powered by four 6L6 power tubes and five 12AX7 preamp tubes.

Product Description

Designed by Soldano with pure power and versatility in mind, the Jet City JCA100 HDM offers incredibly bright clean tones as well as devastating distortion. The selectable wattage, 50 or 100 watts, allows you to get that extra headroom at a lower volume when required by the size of the venue. Powered by four 6L6 power tubes and five 12AX7 preamp tubes, the JCA100 HDM provides a very punchy tone similar to Soldano Amp Heads at an affordable price. Don't miss this incredible deal!

"Glorious tube driven happiness!"

Sound:
You really can dial in any sound you can think of. All of the knobs make a noticeable impact on the tone. It has a pretty clean, and you can conjure up some nasty distortion. You can get some nice fuzz and classic overdrive out of it too. This amp is great for a wide variety of sound.
Feature:
It came with a one button footswitch to change between the two channels. It would be nice if it had reverb.
Ease of Use:
Pretty straightforward, but if you're not sure about how to go about shaping your tone, the book gives you an idea of how to go about it. The outputs on the back make it easy, as there are different ones for different ohms. You can also change the power tubes without biasing, as long as you stick with the same type (6L6).
Quality:
I don't think Mike Soldano would lend his name to a piece of crap. This amp looks to be built very well. Mine arrived in pristine condition.
Value:
This amp costs a little less than other amps in it's class, and is just as good, or most likely better, than others.
Manufacturer Support:
I have not needed to contact the company for anything.
The Wow Factor:
This amp looks as good as it sounds, and vice versa. The tolex is nice and smooth. The metal grill looks great. Even the back of the amp is pleasing to look at. The blue led inside looks nice, and casts a soft blue glow. When the overdrive is activated another blue light comes on. There is one on the pedal too.
Overall:
I'm extremely pleased with my decision to buy a Jet City amp. It's different, not many people have one. It really sounds amazing, and looks cool. This amp has truly exceeded my expectations, and I did a lot of research on it beforehand.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"GREAT AMP!!!!!!"

Sound:
Sound is AWESOME!! Cleans sound good(Not fender good) But thats because your paying for the Overdrive channel on these(Think SLO). And that alone is worth its weight in gold!! Absolute Killer Hair Metal TONE!!!!!! Think Dokken, Judas Priest, Ratt, Etc.
Feature:
2- channels, Crunch/Clean, Overdrive/Lead-Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Master Crunch and Overdrive for volume control. 100/50 watt power switch,Presence and Depth controls. Quality materials put into it other then cheap no name china tubes. Depth is more lower mids control then all Low, But works very well to shape your tone. Cranking the Overdrive preamp between 7-9 darkens the tone up too.
Ease of Use:
Very easy straight forward amp. You have to use the pedal included to switch from Overdrive/Lead channel to Clean/Crunch. Put the Overdrive channel on 4-5 ,Bass 6-7,Mid 3-4,Treble-5-6, Presence-6,Depth -7,Master Overdrive -3-4 and prepare for takeoff!!!
Quality:
Very well made and its weight shows it(Heavy), Only had it about a month but have been playing it everyday and not had a problem,Heavy very solid well built amp.
Value:
A+++++ Value here, Worth every penny spent on it and plan to enjoy it for many years. Just would be nice to have better quality tubes in them. Otherwise PERFECT!! SLO for $3000 or this for $900. Read the last review of the guy who owns a SLO and see what he says.Im a married guy with 3 sons on a budget whos a hobbyist player, not Donald Trump.
Manufacturer Support:
I have dealt with the company for questions on my 2112rc combo that I had a problem with(Bad tube). Contacted the sevice center and got a response in an hour from Robert P. Extremely helpful with ALL my questions. Customer service is OUTSTANDING from Jet City. After they have your money they WANT YOU to be happy with their product. Unlike other companys that figure,Its your problem now.Can't think of enough GREAT things to say about them. My problems I had were all solved through E-mailing them.
The Wow Factor:
It looks METAL and MEAN!!! Mine came in Pristine condition, Nice tolex, Awesome metal baffle, and the Blue LED glow off the tubes is just the icing on the cake!!!
Overall:
Have owned this amp for 3 weeks now, Also own a JCA2112rc 20 watt combo with reverb.
